Since many years, strong links exist between HFML-FELIX at Radboud University (RU) and HLD as well as the ELBE facility at HZDR in Dresden. In Nijmegen, continuous high magnetic fields and pulsed infrared and THz light are generated, while Dresden is specialized in pulsed fields and continuous light. Both sites offer a unique combination of high magnetic fields and infrared free electron lasers. Scientists from the labs have been working successfully together for many years. Researchers and technicians exchange the latest knowledge and the labs cooperate within European networks such as FELs of Europe, LEAPS, and EMFL. On October 5, 2023, representatives of HZDR, RU and NWO-I (Stichting Nederlandse Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Instituten) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen the scientific and technological cooperation on high magnetic fields and free electron lasers.
